With Palin guest hosting, Today drew just under 5.5 million total viewers on Tuesday, according to Nielsen Fast National data. Good Morning America drew 5.14 million viewers with Couric, who is filling in all week.

Monday's Today, which included announcements about upcoming Olympics coverage and Palin previewing her Tuesday appearance, topped Good Morning America by 333,000 viewers according to the Fast National Data.
